AltostratusCisco Jabber over SSL-VPN (F5 Edge Gateway)
Dears,
Does anyone tried using Cisco Jabber over SSL-VPN (Edge Gateway). If yes, is there any special configuration required to make it work...
Regards,
Shiraz

Hey Shiraz,
We are rolling Jabber out right now with an on premise CUP server. The Jabber client is 9.6, and is for Windows. All functionality seems to work over the F5 Edge Gateway except for inbound calls when using Jabber as a softphone. When you have Jabber set to use your computer for calls and you are on the F5, it refuses to ring or pop-up the inbound call.
I have a ticket open with support on this. The one setting that appears to allow calls to ring through is to turn on "preserve source port strict" under Access Policy->Network Access->Network settings. This causes other traffic problems for services we are using on the F5. If I turn this "port strict" on at the virtual server level it doesn't make any change at all. I have also tried creating a virtual server for SIP traffic (port 5060) and forwarding that to the call manager, but that doesn't work. Today we also tried creating a local traffic pool and applying that to the virtual server, but no go.
I will let you know if I make any progress.
2BsHi,

Hey 2Bs - unfortunately @honeybadgerIT_1 is an inactive user account (I'm not sure why I'm suddenly thinking about how to make this more obvious for all the accounts like this...but I'm gonna give it a shot).
That said, I see boneyard (on of our MVPs) may know more about this? Do you know if this question was re-asked elsewhere?I see one unanswered post here: https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/cisco-jabber-apm-cannot-make-internal-calls/td-p/251591
containing a link to this Support KB article K16680 on VoIP through network access connections. https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K16680
Looks like there are quite a few others as well asking for help between 2018 and 2020.
If ^that^ info isn't helpful I'll poke around internally to see if I can find someone to address this.cheers

hello Mario the result might be similar but the cause can be quite different, you have a different application to start with. please start a new question with some more details, which TMOS version, which Edge client settings (split tunnel, SNAT, ....), ... also a drawing of traffic related to the application is useful.
